DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a backlight module 100 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The backlight module 100 of the present embodiment mainly includes a light source 200 and a light guide plate 300 disposed adjacent to the light source 200. The light guide plate 300 mainly includes a main body 310, plural first stripe structures 320 and plural second stripe structures 330, and the first stripe structures 320 and the second stripe structures 330 are disposed on the main body 310.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram showing the main body 310 of the light guide plate 300 in accordance with the first embodiment of the present disclosure. More specifically, FIG. 2 omits the first stripe structures 320 and the second stripe structures 330 for clearly illustrating the structure design of the main body 310. In the present embodiment, the main body 310 has an optical surface 311, a light-incident surface 312 and an opposite light-incident surface 313, and the light-incident surface 312 and the opposite light-incident surface 313 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the optical surface 311. The main body 310 has a hole 311 a passing through the optical surface 311. In the present embodiment, the optical surface 311 is divided into a first region A1 and a second region A2 by an imaginary line M1. The first region A1 is near the light-incident surface 312, and the second region A2 is near the opposite light-incident surface 313. In one embodiment, the imaginary line M1 at least touches the hole 311 a. In the present embodiment, the imaginary line M1 intersects the hole 311 a. In a certain embodiment, the imaginary line M1 passes through a center of the hole 311 a, and an extending direction of the imaginary line M1 is parallel to the an extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313. In other embodiments, the imaginary line M1 can be tangent to the hole 311 a according to different requirements. More specifically, the dashed line shown in FIG. 2 is merely used to partition the optical surface 311 into the first region A1 and the second region A2 for indicating the occupation ratio of first region A1 and the second region A2, and is not parts of the main body 310 of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the optical surface 311 is a light-emitting surface or a reflecting surface.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, for explaining relative positions between the hole 311 a and the extending directions of the first stripe structures 320 and second stripe structures 330, the present disclosure further defines that the hole 311 a has a first side S1, a second side S2, a third side S3 and a fourth side S4. The first side S1 is a side of the hole 311 a which is near the opposite light-incident surface 313. The second side S2 is a side of the hole 311 a which is near the light-incident surface 312, and the second side S2 is opposite to the first side S1. The third side S3 and the fourth side S4 are defined at two opposite sides of the hole 311 a which are located along the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, at least one portion of each of the first stripe structures 320 is located in the first region A1, and the second stripe structures 330 are disposed in the second region A2. In the present embodiment, the extending directions of the first stripe structures 320 are different from the extending directions of the second stripe structures 330. More specifically, the extending directions of each of the first stripe structures 320 are vertical to the light-incident surface 312. The second stripe structures are inclined relative to the hole 311 a, and one end of each of one portion of the second stripe structures 330 is connected to the first stripe structures 320, the other end of each of one portion of the second stripe structures 330 extends towards the first side S1 of the hole 311 a which is near the opposite light-incident surface 313. The first stripe structures 320 are designed to allow the light to be uniformly emitted from the light guide plate 300. The second stripe structures 33 are used to guide a portion of the light to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313, thereby enabling the portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the first side S1, and thus the light guide plate 300 can emit light with more uniform luminance.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the first stripe structures 320 include plural first structural units 320 a, plural second structural units 320 b and plural third structural units 320 c. One end of each of the first structural units 320 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the first structural units 320 a extends toward the third side S3 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the second structural units 320 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the second structural units 320 b extends toward the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the third structural units 320 c is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the third structural units 320 c extends toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a near the light-incident surface 312. In the present embodiment, the other end of each of the third structural units 320 c is connected to the hole 311 a, but which is not used to limit the present disclosure. In other embodiments, the other end of each of the third structural units can be designed to be not directly connected to the hole 311 a (i.e. third structural units 420 c shown in FIG. 3).

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the second stripe structures 330 include plural first structural units 330 a and plural second structural units 330 b. The first structural units 330 a and second structural units 330 b are respectively located at two opposite sides (i.e. the third side S3 and the fourth side S4) of the hole 311 a along the opposite light-incident surface 313. In the present embodiment, an extending direction of the first structural units 330 a is opposite to an extending direction of the second structural units 330 b, and a portion of each of a portion of the first structural units 330 a which extends to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a and a portion of each of a portion of the second structural units 330 b which extends to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a are intersected, thereby increasing light emitting amount from the first side S1 of the hole 311 a near the opposite light-incident surface 313. Therefore, the design of the second stripe structures 330 can increase the light emitting amount from the side of the hole 311 a away from the light-incident surface 312, thereby increasing the overall light uniformity of the light guide plate 300.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a light guide plate 400 in accordance with a second embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the light guide plate 400 shown in FIG. 3 is similar to that of the light guide plate 300 shown in FIG. 1, and the main difference therebetween is that first stripe structures 420 and second stripe structures 430 of the light guide plate 400 have different structural designs. In the present embodiment, the first stripe structures 420 are disposed in the first region A1, and the second stripe structures 430 are disposed in the second region A2. An extending direction of each of the first stripe structures 420 is vertical to the light-incident surface 312. The second stripe structures 430 are inclined relative to the hole 311 a. One end of a portion of each of the second stripe structures 430 is connected to the first stripe structures 420, the other end of the portion of each of the second stripe structures 430 extends toward the first side S1 of the hole 311 a near the opposite light-incident surface 313.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the first stripe structures 420 include plural first structural units 420 a, plural second structural units 420 b and plural third structural units 420 c. One end of each of the first structural units 420 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the first structural units 420 a extends toward the third side S3 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the second structural units 420 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the second structural units 420 b extends toward the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the third structural units 420 c is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the third structural units 420 c extends toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a near the light-incident surface 312 but is not connected to the hole 311 a. In other words, there is a blank portion B1 formed between the third structural units 420 c and the hole 311 a (i.e. the blank portion B1 is located at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a). The design of the blank portion B1 is mainly used to decrease light emitting amount from the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312, thereby preventing the light from concentrating at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the second stripe structures 430 include plural first structural units 430 a and plural second structural units 430 b. The first structural units 430 a and the second structural units 430 b are respectively located at two opposite sides (i.e. the third side S3 and the fourth side S4) of the hole 311 a along the opposite light-incident surface 313. In the present embodiment, an extending direction of the first structural units 430 a is opposite to an extending direction of the second structural units 430 b. One end of a portion of each of the first structural units 430 a which extends to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a is connected to one end of a portion of each of the second structural units 430 b which extends to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a. Moreover, in the present embodiment, an arrangement density of the first structural units 430 a which are located near the hole 311 a is greater than an arrangement density of the first structural units 430 a which are located away from the hole 311 a, and an arrangement density of the second structural units 430 b which are located near the hole 311 a is greater than an arrangement density of the second structural units 430 b which are located away from the hole 311 a. Therefore, the design of the second stripe structures 430 can guide a portion of the light to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313, thereby enabling the portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the first side S1, thereby increasing light emitting amount from the side of the hole 311 a away from the light-incident surface 312, and thus the light guide plate 400 can emit light with more uniform luminance.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a light guide plate 500 in accordance with a third embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the light guide plate 500 shown in FIG. 4 is similar to that of the light guide plate 300 shown in FIG. 1, and the main difference therebetween is that first stripe structures 520 and second stripe structures 530 of the light guide plate 500 have different structural designs. In the present embodiment, arrangement directions of the first stripe structures 520 are different from arrangement directions of the second stripe structures 530. The first stripe structures 520 are arranged along the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313, and the second stripe structures 530 are arranged along an extending direction D2. The extending direction D2 is vertical to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313. In addition, an extending direction of at least one portion of each of the first stripe structures 520 is vertical to the light-incident surface 312, and an extending direction of each of the second stripe structures 530 is parallel to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the first stripe structures 520 include plural first structural units 520 a, plural second structural units 520 b and plural third structural units 520 c. One end of each of the first structural units 520 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the first structural units 520 a extends toward the third side S3 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the second structural units 520 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the second structural units 520 b extends toward the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the third structural units 520 c is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end each of the third structural units 520 c is bent relative to the hole 311 a. More specifically, the third structural units 520 c extend from the light-incident surface 312 toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312, and then are bent away from the hole 311 a. Therefore, the design of bent portions of the third structural units 520 c can guide the light which travels to the second side S2 of the hole 311 a to the third side S3 and the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a respectively, thereby preventing the light from concentrating at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a near the light-incident surface 312.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the extending direction of the second stripe structures 530 is parallel to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313. The second stripe structures 530 not only can uniform the light which is guided to the third side S3 and the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a, but also can guide a portion of the light to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313, thereby enabling the portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the first side S1, thereby increasing light emitting amount from the side of the hole 311 a away from the light-incident surface 312, and thus the light guide plate 400 can emit light with more uniform luminance.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a light guide plate 600 in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the light guide plate 600 shown in FIG. 5 is similar to that of the light guide plate 500 shown in FIG. 4, and the main difference therebetween is that first stripe structures 620 and second stripe structures 630 of the light guide plate 600 have different structural designs. In the present embodiment, at least one portion of each of the first stripe structures 620 is located in the first region A1, and the second stripe structures 630 are disposed in the second region A2. An extending direction of the first stripe structures 620 is vertical to the light-incident surface 312, and an extending direction of a portion of each of the second stripe structures 630 is parallel to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the first stripe structures 620 include plural first structural units 620 a and plural second structural units 620 b. One end of each of the first structural units 620 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, the other end of each of the first structural units 620 a is connected to the opposite light-incident surface 313. One end of each of the second structural units 620 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, the other end of each of the second structural units 620 b extends toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312. In the present embodiment, the other end of each of the second structural units 620 b is not directly connected to the hole 311 a. In other words, there is a blank portion B2 formed between the hole 311 a and the second structural units 620 b (i.e. the blank portion B2 is located at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a). The design of the blank portion B2 is mainly used to decrease light emitting amount from the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312, thereby preventing the light from concentrating at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the second stripe structures 630 include plural first structural units 630 a and plural second structural units 630 b. An extending direction of the first structural units 630 a is vertical to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313. One end of each of the first structural units 630 a is connected to the opposite light-incident surface 313, and the other end of each of the first structural units 630 a is connected to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313. An extending direction of the second structural units 630 b is parallel to the extending direction D1 of the opposite light-incident surface 313. The second structural units 630 b are intersected with the first structural units 630 a so as to form a higher arrangement density of the second stripe structures 630 at the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313. Therefore, the design of the second stripe structures 630 can increase the light emitting amount from the side of the hole 311 a away from the light-incident surface 312, thereby increasing the overall light uniformity of the light guide plate 600.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a light guide plate 700 in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the light guide plate 700 shown in FIG. 6 is similar to that of the light guide plate 600 shown in FIG. 5, and the main difference therebetween is that first stripe structures 720 and second stripe structures 730 of the light guide plate 700 have different structural designs. In the present embodiment, at least one portion of each of the first stripe structures 720 is located in the first region A1, and the second stripe structures 730 are disposed in the second region A2. In the present embodiment, an extending direction of the first stripe structures 720 is different from an extending direction of the second stripe structures 730. More specifically, the extending direction of the first stripe structures 720 is vertical to the light-incident surface 312, and the second stripe structures 730 extend along the contour of the hole 311 a.

In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the first stripe structures 720 include plural first structural units 720 a, plural second structural units 720 b and plural third structural units 720 c. One end of each of the first structural units 720 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the first structural units 720 a is connected to the opposite light-incident surface 313. One end of each of one portion of the second structural units 720 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, the other end of each of one portion of the second structural units 720 b extends toward the third side S3 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the other one portion of the second structural units 720 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, the other end of each of the other one portion of the second structural units 720 b extends toward the fourth side S4 of the hole 311 a. One end of each of the third structural units 720 c is connected to the light-incident surface 312, the other end of each of the third structural units 720 c extends toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312. In the present embodiment, the other end of each of the third structural units 720 c is not directly connected to the hole 311 a, thereby preventing the light from concentrating at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the second stripe structures 730 are arc structures which surround the hole 311 a. In some examples, two opposing ends of each of the arc structures are connected to the second structural units 720 b of the first stripe structures 720. Therefore, the design of the second stripe structures 730 can guide a portion of light to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313, thereby enabling the portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the first side S1 of the hole 311 a near the opposite light-incident surface 313, and thus the light guide plate 700 can emit light with more uniform luminance.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a light guide plate 800 in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the light guide plate 800 shown in FIG. 7 is similar to that of the light guide plate 700 shown in FIG. 6, and the main difference therebetween is that first stripe structures 820 and second stripe structures 830 of the light guide plate 800 have different structural designs. In the present embodiment, at least one portion of each of the first stripe structures 820 is located in the first region A1, the second stripe structures 830 are disposed in the second region A2. In the present embodiment, an extending direction of the first stripe structures 820 is vertical to the light-incident surface 312. The second stripe structures 830 extend to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a near the opposite light-incident surface 313.

In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the first stripe structures 820 include plural first structural units 820 a and plural second structural units 820 b. One end of each of the first structural units 820 a is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the first structural units 820 a is connected to the opposite light-incident surface 313. One end of each of the second structural units 820 b is connected to the light-incident surface 312, and the other end of each of the second structural units 820 b extends toward the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312 but is not directly connected to the hole 311 a. In the present embodiment, there is a blank portion B3 formed between the hole 311 a and the second structural units 820 b. The design of the blank portion B3 is mainly used to decrease light emitting amount from the second side S2 of the hole 311 a that is located near the light-incident surface 312, thereby preventing the light from concentrating at the second side S2 of the hole 311 a.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, one end of each of the second stripe structures 830 is connected to the opposite light-incident surface 313, the other end of each of the second stripe structures 830 is directly connected to the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313. In addition, an arrangement distance between any two adjacent second stripe structures 830 is smaller than an arrangement distance between any two adjacent first stripe structures 820. In other words, an arrangement density of the second stripe structures 830 is greater than an arrangement density of the first stripe structures 820. Therefore, the design of the second stripe structures 830 can increase the light emitting amount at the first side S1 of the hole 311 a that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 313, thereby enabling a portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the first side S1 of the hole 311 a near the opposite light-incident surface 313, and thus the light guide plate 800 can emit light with more uniform luminance.

More specifically, the aforementioned first stripe structures and second stripe structures are lenticular structures having V-shaped or arc shaped cross sections. Moreover, the first stripe structures and the second stripe structures can be convex structures or concave structures.

In some embodiments, the main body has different designs to be cooperated with different first stripe structures and second stripe structures as shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 3-7 to generate different optical effects. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram showing a main body 910 in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the main body 910 of the present embodiment is similar to that of the main body 310 shown in FIG. 2, and the main difference therebetween is that the main body 910 further includes microstructures 920. The main body 910 has an optical surface 911, a light-incident surface 912, an opposite light-incident surface 913 and at least one side surface 914 and at least one arc surface 915. In one embodiment, the optical surface 911 is a light-emitting surface or a reflecting surface. As shown in FIG. 8, the main body 910 has a hole 916 passing through the optical surface 911. In the present embodiment, the microstructures 920 are disposed on a portion of the opposite light-incident surface 913 which is near the hole 916.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the microstructures 920 are concave structures, and each of the microstructures 920 is an asymmetric triangle structure. Each of the microstructures 920 has a first inclined surface 921 and a second inclined surface 922 which are inclined relative to the opposite light-incident surface 913. There is a first included angle α1 formed between the first inclined surface 921 and the opposite light-incident surface 913, and there is a second included angle β1 ormed between the second inclined surface 922 and the opposite light-incident surface 913. The first included angle α1 is smaller than the second included angle β1, and both the first included angle α1 and the second included angle β1 are acute angles. In the present embodiment, the inclination of the first inclined surface 921 is smaller than the inclination of the second inclined surface 922, and a dimension of the first inclined surface 921 is greater than a dimension of the second inclined surface 922. Therefore, light beam emitting toward the first inclined surface 921 (i.e. light beam L1) is reflected by the first inclined surface 921 to emit toward the side of the hole 916 which is near the opposite light-incident surface 913. Moreover, light beam emitting toward the second inclined surface 922 (i.e. light beam L2) is first reflected by the second inclined surface 922 to emit toward the first inclined surface 921 and further emit to the side of the hole 916 which is near the opposite light-incident surface 913. Therefore, the design of the microstructures 920 can guide a portion of the light to the side S1 of the hole 916 that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 913, thereby enabling the portion of the light to compensate the light intensity of shadow occurring at the side of the hole 916 that is located near the opposite light-incident surface 913, and thus the light guide plate can emit light with more uniform luminance. It is noted that, the microstructures 920 are not limited to have asymmetric triangle shapes. In other embodiments, the microstructures 920 can have symmetric triangle shapes, arc shapes or other shapes. In addition, the microstructures 920 can be designed to be convex structures according to requirements, or the e microstructures 920 can be designed to be disposed on the opposite light-incident surface 913 and/or side surface 914.

Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a display device 1000 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display device 1000 of the present embodiment includes the backlight module 100 shown in FIG. 1 and a display panel 1100. As shown in FIG. 9, the display panel 1100 is disposed in front of the light guide plate 300 of the backlight module 100. It is noted that, the backlight module 100 shown in FIG. 1 is merely used as an example which can be applied to the display device 1000 for explanation, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, other light guide plates, such as light guide plates 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800, or the light guide plate having the main body 910, of the aforementioned embodiments also can be applied to a display device, so as to achieve the same effect.

According to the aforementioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the first stripe structures are used to uniform light which enters the light guide plate, and the second stripe structures are used to guide a portion of light to a side of the hole which is near the opposite light-incident surface, thereby increasing light emitting amount from the side of the hole near the opposite light-incident surface so as to increase the overall light uniformity of the light guide plate.

In addition, the opposite light-incident surface, the side surface and/or the arc surface of the main body of the light guide plate can be further set with microstructures. The microstructures can efficiently reflect the light to a dark region at a side of the hole away from the light-incident surface, thereby improving a non-uniform phenomenon occurring around the hole.
